Slovak Christian Democrats Propose Ban on Social Media for Children Under 16

The Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) has introduced draft legislation that would prohibit children under 16 years old from having social media accounts. The proposed law represents the opposition party's attempt to strengthen protections for minors in the digital environment. KDH, a conservative opposition party that emphasizes traditional family values, is positioning the measure as necessary safeguarding for young people against potential harmful effects of social media platforms. The proposal comes amid growing international debate over the impact of social media on children's mental health and development.
